Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with Word 2007. I created a resume from a
template that I downloaded from the Word database and it created an
extra page at the end of the document that I absolutely cannot delete.
I've tried going into View -- Draft then Home -- Paragraph -- Show/
Hide, but it won't let me delete the page break. I've also tried
highlighting the page and pressing delete, but I can't seem to
highlight the second page without highlighting the text on the first
page and therefore I cannot delete the second page without deleting
the first. Any ideas? This resume is part of my application to law
school and I need it perfect. I can't have an extra page in the
document with nothing on it. Thanks!

I'm assuming the résumé uses a table. Note that a Word table is always
followed by a paragraph mark, which may insert an extra page if it doesn't
fit on the same page as the table itself. To verify that this has indeed
happened, press Ctrl+Shift+8 to display nonprinting marks; paragraph marks
display as ¶ symbols.

Here's how to get rid of the extra page: Select the paragraph mark after the
table and format it with 1 pt of font size, zero spacing before/after (and
as hidden text, too, if necessary). If you press Ctrl+Shift+8 again to hide
nonprinting marks, the blank page should disappear.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I followed your directions and made the
paragraph mark 1pt size, but after I hit ctrl + shift + 8 again, the
page still remained. If I select the 2nd page there's now a tiny 1pt
blinking cursor, but I can't seem to delete the page.

If 1 point isn't small enough, then you need to make it Hidden.

And if it's still not working, make sure to turn off the options to display
and print hidden text (Office button | Word Options, Display category:
"Hidden text" and "Print hidden text" respectively).

Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble deleting an extra page in your resume. Here are a few steps you can try to get rid of that pesky page:

1. First, make sure that you're in Print Layout view. You can switch to this view by clicking on the View tab and selecting Print Layout from the Views group.
2. Next, turn on the Show/Hide button so that you can see all of the formatting marks in your document. You can do this by clicking on the Home tab and then clicking on the Show/Hide button in the Paragraph group.
3. Look for any extra paragraph marks or page breaks that might be causing the extra page. These will appear as symbols in your document. If you see any, try deleting them and see if that gets rid of the extra page.
4. If you don't see any extra paragraph marks or page breaks, try selecting all of the text in your document (except for the last paragraph mark) and copying it to a new document. This should get rid of any formatting issues that might be causing the extra page.
5. Finally, if none of these steps work, you can try manually adjusting the margins of your document to force the extra page to disappear. To do this, click on the Page Layout tab and then click on Margins. From there, you can select Custom Margins and adjust the margins until the extra page disappears.

I hope one of these steps works for you!
